| Obverse description | Unadorned bare head of King Ludwig I of Bavaria facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair curling naturalistically about the temples and nape. The portrait is the work of engraver Carl Friedrich Voigt, whose surname appears incuse in small capitals below the truncation. The circular legend reads LUDWIG I KÖNIG VON BAYERN, disposed around the upper and lateral periphery within a toothed border. The field is deeply polished, consistent with proof or pattern striking, imparting a cameo-like contrast against the sculpted effigy. |
